Very old style motel with torn fabric on chair, old carpet, bathroom and kitchen.  Desperately needs upgrading.  Seemed reasonably clean, but skirtings were dirty. Price just acceptable given the conditions. Quiet enough and close to town.

Basic motel, needs updating,

The worst experience ever. The man on reception had an attitude problem. Booked a unit months prior for being ground level and 1 bedroom. On arrival, found we had been moved upstairs. If we didn't like it we could go elsewhere, he said.  We couldn't do the stairs. Man on reception got very verbally abusive, continually shouted at us, told us he didn't want us there, to get out, go somewhere else, swore at us, and said he would call the police.   We still couldn't get a word in. He would not listen. Left us shaken. Eventually given a very smelly unit, from cooking, but the whole unit was filthy, old, needing repair, and uncomfortable. The one chair was facing away from the TV - to watch this you had to sit on hard dining chairs!!    Highly recommend NOT to stay there.   The reception man must have some very personal issues to treat clients this way.  We have stayed at this place a number of times before, but never been treated this way.   Why this treatment now, one needs to ask!!   He was guilty of "elderly abuse".

DON'T STAY HERE

Possibly one of the worst motels I have stayed in terms of noise. Traffic and guest noise were constant- almost no insulation between upstairs and downstairs so I could hear conversations, TV, and arguing from the downstairs unit (continued until 1am). The second night was better but still very noisy so not conducive to a decent nights sleep. Might be ok if you are travelling on a budget but not recommended for business. 
The room was clean and tidy, and serviced with fresh linen- nice staff and a comfortable bed. 
I stay in Wellington every month for a week and this is NOT a motel I would be keen to stay again.

Scraping the barrel!!!

We have been to the Marksman Motor Inn twice years apart.  It is fairly close to inner city and ferry and does have parking but the spaces are very narrow.  These are positives.  Staff do try hard.  However cleanliness was somewhat lacking.  We also had the worst nights sleep there out of the 5 various motels in different areas we stayed at.  Even though it was fairly quiet could not get to sleep??  

Fairly close to ferry with off street parking (though very narrow)

I had to be in Wellington NZ for two nights in early December. I was booked into 4 Star room at the Marksman Motel. My room was well below 2 Star. The young woman that was on reception would not let me finish a sentence and over talked me. After maybe a minute or so it became a loud rant & abusive language from her. I went back to my room, packed my gear and took a taxi to another motel.
The carpet was old & worn. The walls had not had a coat of paint in many years. Then when you add the attitude of the young lady at reception, I would not expect a homeless person to want to stay there & I wouldn't stay if they paid me $500.

Bad service, verbal abuse from reception

This is NOT a a 4* accommodation it wouldn’t even rate as a 1 or 2* accomodation
I had room 5 a disability room, frayed and curled carpet on the floor at doorways, bathroom floor constantly wet because of a constantly  dripping shower head, old and tired fittings and fixtures and the list could go on. In short don’t be fooled by their website after staying 28 days touring NZ this is the worst accomodation I and my travelling companions ever experienced. It does not deserve your patronage.

4 star it is not 

I had booked this motel for a business trip because it was handy to town, had WiFi and parking was included. The room was very clean and tidy, however it took forever to connect to the WiFi. When I questioned them they told me it was working fine but sometimes dropped out because of the wind? (It’s Wellington for crying out loud!!). One morning after being up most of the night working, I jumped in the shower later than usual and there was no hot water - again, they told me that there was unlimited hot water (obviously just not in my room?). After coming in from a late meeting with clients one night, there were no car parks left so I had to park up and around the corner - not ideal. 
BUT the room was very clean, everything was there and the bed was comfortable. Just not ideal for what I needed!!!

Disappointing 

We stayed in room 9 which overlooks the Basin Reserve cricket grounds, and were able to look outside our window and watch the cricket teams batting in the cages.  Comfortable, clean, surprisingly quiet lodging, with great sound proofing, considering it's on a busy road.  Easy and inexpensive ride from the airport, Cuba street and the waterfront are about a 10-15 minutes walk and we had everything we needed.  Will return for the next big cricket match!

Best lodging if you're a cricket fan!

We stayed for 2 nights at new years. We booked a 1 bedroom room for 2 adults and 3 kids. I would say that most of the other reviews are about right for this place. Reception staff are ok, they gave me a clothes dying session free of charge. Location not bad. You don't have to pay for parking - a bonus in somewhere like wellington. The bathroom looked to have been redone recently and so this was quite nice but small. The lounge dining  chairs need to be replaced quite dirty looking. There were some quite noisy people staying at the time but it was new years and it looked like they took the party elsewhere fairly early. We had someone come off the street and start talking to our daughters which was abit of a concern. 

Nice enough but bad part of town

Room was great quiet, with great shower. Could not have asked for more. Reception was excellent and very accommodating as was unsure of length of stay due to how hospital patient fared re discharge. This was no problem to lady in reception who could not have been more helpful.
Location was excellent as bus stop was only about 2 minutes walk away with busses running every ten minutes during weekdays and on the half hour on weekend. Did not use the car at all and it was parked under cover entire stay. Parking however is on first come first served basis. Would not stay anywhere else now when visiting Wellington.
